Our History
St. Gilgen International School was founded in 2008 and since then has grown steadily with our current enrolment approaching capacity.
"We expect to continue our planned growth and to reach our capacity of 250 in the near future."
The school was built on a site beside Lake Wolfgang which previously contained green fields and some derelict villas. The prominent Austrian writer Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach formerly lived here and this historical relationship has a number of significant features.
- Scholarship and creativity
Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach is renowned as one of the most important German writers of the 19th century and her academic success lays a strong foundation for our continued striving for excellence in education.
- Empowerment
Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach faced many challenges as a female writer of this time and has emerged as a powerful figure for women's liberation. This lays a strong foundation for our continued striving to equip our students with the strength and integrity to go fourth into the world and help make it a more just and equitable place for all.
- International mindedness
Legend has it, that Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach planted all of the trees on our campus during her time here. The trees that she chose were taken from all corners of the world and they now stand tall and together. This lays a strong foundation for global awareness.
The Villas were renovated to a high standard and five state-of-the-art teaching buildings were constructed over 12 months during 2007 and 2008.
The founder of St. Gilgen International School is a prominent Austrian architect – Mr Alexander Serda, who envisaged a unique school with members drawn from the local and international community sharing a high quality academic and personal education in beautiful surroundings.
On the 17th of May 2016, ownership of the school passed to a foundation of parents of the school community (Privatstiftung). This foundation acts solely in the interests of the school and school community. It undertakes to secure the school's future. As such, all profits are reinvested back into the school. The new ownership harnesses our community spirit and drives us to work together in a continued effort to improve our already exceptional school.

Make & Take Workshop: Herb Salts & Dried Herbs
Date: September 15, 2018
Time: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Contact: UCCE Master Food Preservers 530-621-5506
Sponsor: UCCE Master Food Preservers- El Dorado County
Location: Bethell-Delfino Agriculture Building
Event Details
Fabulous flavored salts...great tasting garlic salt, savory rosemary salt. Dried parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme (remember that fabulous song)? Salt has been around since the beginning of time and its use by humans has been around for centuries. The history of salt is long and varied - used for medicine, currency, in addition to being a primary seasoning. Preserving herbs in salt is an old method that works beautifully for two reasons: a) it's fast and easy. b) it's delicious. Another benefit - it's inexpensive and you probably grow your own herbs, or know someone who does. Join us as we make flavored salts and teach the best methods for drying herbs. It's a hands-on class that is sure to pack a punch!
Workshop size is limited to 9 so register early.
Workshop fee: $20.00

Hanna-Barbera is best known for its animated shows with the occasional live action series. It turns out that there was an old series that combined both called The New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1968-1969). It's about Tom Sawyer (Kevin Schultz), Huckleberry Finn (Michael Shea), and Becky Thatcher (LuAnn Haslam) ending up in an animated world while on the run from their nemesis Injun Joe (Ted Cassidy) in a mysterious cave. Their goal is to get back home to their hometown Hannibal, Missouri.
When I first saw this show on the Boomerang channel a while back, I was fascinated that it had live actors in an animated world like in such movies as Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Cool World, and Space Jam. I always liked that concept.
Another interesting point is about Injun Joe. The three young heroes always end up someplace different and the animated antagonist always has a very striking resemblance to Injun Joe, right down to the chain and handcuff on his right wrist. Ted Cassidy voices each villain. As much as I liked his role of Lurch from The Addams Family, it's good to see him doing a different range of characters too. Despite that the live action version of Injun Joe is only in the intro of every episode.
In addition to that, after the villain is defeated (sometimes ending in death) Injun Joe easily comes back as someone else. This leads to number of theories, from the whole series being one long dream to Injun Joe having some kind of supernatural power we know nothing about. Whatever the reason, it makes for an interesting episode formula.
The only other show I know of that used that tactic was Back to the Future the animated series (1991-1993). Whenever the protagonists travel back to any time period, they always run into an ancestor of Biff Tannen, who always calls Marty McFly a butthead at least once. I always found that interesting.
Back to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, I also would like to point out that even though Tom, Becky, and Huck are the only non-animated characters, there are times when they are animated at a distance. Particularly when a stunt double is required. It's so clever how that works.
This was certainly a great series overall, especially with its unique method of real actors in animated worlds. What could've made this DVD set better was if there had been a special feature about how the series was put together. Unfortunately, there are none.
Here's something special for my 800th post. The other voice actor I met at MegaCon 2016 was Alan Oppenheimer. It's always an honor to meet a voice actor, who voiced characters on shows from my childhood and he has voiced many. When I mentioned that to Alan Oppenheimer, he thought that I didn't look old enough. It was still an honor just the same.
Most of these classic shows were from the 80s and Alan Oppenheimer had voiced at least several characters from each one. Since it would take a long time to go over each character individually, I'll try to be more discrete.
Let's start with He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, one of the first animated shows I ever saw. He voiced Skeletor, Man-At-Arms, Mer-Man, Buzz-Off, Cringer, and Battle Cat.
That's really quite impressive since each character sounded very different from one another.
Shortly after He-Man ended, Alan Oppenheimer voiced several villains on Ghostbusters (1986 version). They included Fangster the werewolf, Long John Scarechrome the pirate ghost, Airhead the mummy, and main arch villain Prime Evil. It wasn't until I got the DVD sets when I noticed the voice similarities between these characters and the ones from He-Man.
The same goes with his characters from Bravestarr, which included Handlebar the bartender, Scuzz the Prairie henchman, and the evil bull demon Stampede.
You might find this interesting. Alan Oppenheimer also voiced characters from The Neverending Story. One of them was the Rock Biter. He was my favorite.
The others were Falkor the lucky dragon and Gmork the wolf.
Would you believe that he also voiced Vanity Smurf from The Smurfs animated series as well as Count Dracula from Drak Pack.
As great as his voice acting was, Alan Oppenheimer had some live action roles too. However, they were mostly guest appearances in one episode of a TV series. The one I remember best was on Get Smart as Agent 498 in the season 2 episode The Man from YENTA.
Meeting a voice actor behind the cartoons you enjoyed at a younger age is always a pleasure. Any other old favorites you'd like to add?
Many of us remember Yogi Bear as one of Hanna-Barbera's biggest icons. The smarter than the average bear had a series called The Yogi Bear Show – The Complete Series (1961-1962) about his misadventures in Jellystone Park stealing picnic baskets and driving Ranger Smith crazy. Yogi and his little pal Boo-Boo had also been involved in other animated shows in the 70s and 80s, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
The focus right now is on Yogi's first movie, Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!. It's the first day of spring and Boo-Boo is very excited. Apparently, Yogi's only interest is snatching food from tourists by going back to his old tricks again. It's so typical of Yogi.
However, Ranger Smith manages to outwit Yogi a lot easier than before and enforces "Do Not Feed the Bears" signs all over the park. That drives Yogi to live like a hermit, even though he was believed to have been sent away to the San Diego Zoo.
Reoccurring character on The Yogi Bear Show, Cindy Bear, is more prominent in this movie. She truly loves Yogi. At first Yogi is against the idea of having a relationship, but eventually he realizes that he does love Cindy after all. That's when Yogi finally decides to think with his heart instead of his stomach for a change.
Things really get mixed up when Cindy hears about Yogi going to San Diego and gets herself sent away to be with him, not realizing that she's going to the St. Louis Zoo. While on the train, Cindy meets a group of other bears that sing and dance while playing around with the other luggage. To me, that's one of the most memorable scenes with the fun singing and how heartbroken Cindy gets when she discovers where she's really going.
On the way, Cindy ends up lost and captured by greedy traveling circus owners. What really stands out here is their dog Mugger. He has a very striking resemblance to Muttley, wheezing laugh and all. Now this was back in 1964, several years before Muttley became an official Hanna-Barbera icon.
Once Yogi finds out that Cindy is missing, he and Boo-Boo head out to find her. Even after they do, the three bears are still lost and end up in quite a few different places with all sorts of humans seeing them as threats, even though they're actually nice bears that would never hurt anyone.
This was a good movie with it's brand of kid friendly humor and catchy musical numbers, with the exception of that slow song Ven-e, Ven-o, Ven-a. When I first saw this film years ago I thought it was just another episode of The Yogi Bear Show only longer, since the animation style is no different. Looking back now, I can see the difference, which makes it much more memorable.
Over the years, classic monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, and the Wolfman have been featured as horrifying creatures and as party animals. But who would think of them as superheroes? Well, it has happened in the animated series, Drak Pack: Complete Series (1980-1982).
The Drak Pack is a trio of teenage descendents of the classic monsters, Drak Jr., Frankie, and Howler. To atone for their ancestors' wrongdoings, they devote their lives to fighting crime. The Drak Pack's identities are kept a secret, but what's the point of that? They go by the same names in both human and monster form, their enemies already know who they are, and they always drive the same vehicle, the Drakster, even while in human form.
Drak Jr. is the team leader. He can shape-shift into a variety of forms as well as a bat or mist and can walk up walls. Amazingly, Drak is unaffected by sunlight. Frankie has enormous strength, even more so when he gets mad. Sometimes he needs to be provoked when that level of strength is needed. Howler's main power is his super breath. That's definitely a useful skill to have in battle.
The Drak Pack's arch nemesis is Dr. Dred, a criminal genius that uses cliched evil plots to become rich and powerful. Sometimes Dr. Dred summons Drak to a secret meeting to explain his evil plot and it always ends with Drak getting caught in a trap. Of course, Drak manages to escape every time.
Dr. Dred's henchmen include the overly loyal Toad, the sneaky humanoid Fly, the massive mumbling mummyman that has unlimited bandages, and Vampira a female vampire with the same shape-shifting abilities as Drak. Together the evil group is called ORGE, which stands for the Organization for Generally Rotten Enterprises. That's an interesting acronym.
OGRE has an island headquarters called Dredquarters and an airship called the Dredgible. Both often end up destroyed when an evil plot backfires, but somehow is fully restored by the next episode.
When the Drak Pack needs counsel, they turn to Drak's great uncle Count Dracula himself, who is nicknamed Big D. He is helpful sometimes, but often complains and tends to unknowingly slam the lid of his coffin on his hand. I'm just glad that Dracula is on the side of good.
I really enjoyed this series. I'm surprised that I didn't know about it before since many of my favorite cartoons from the 80s were from Hanna Barbera. I would've enjoyed it just the same back then. Though I should point out that if you're expecting this show to be a horror theme series, you might be disappointed. Scooby-Doo used more horror elements than this.

The Water Distribution Division is currently working from Queens Avenue south to Bridge Street east of Highway 99 to Garden Highway. List of Flushing Areas
The Public Works Department's Water Distribution Division, in partnership with the Yuba City Fire Department, is conducting a Citywide hydrant flushing program throughout the months of April, May, and June 2017.
Hydrant flushing is an important preventative maintenance activity for the water distribution system. During this program, all City hydrants will be "flushed," meaning that the hydrants are strategically opened and water is forced out at high velocity. The high-pressure water scrubs the water main and flushes the sediment and debris out of the system.
Questions about the hydrant flushing program can be directed to Water Distribution Supervisor Phillip Marler at (530) 822-4777 or by email.

Wonderful Services! Very efficient services as I only filled up the form online and they arranged energy assessment, home installation and grant.
Brilliant work, two installers did my cavity walls & Loft insulation and thy put brilliant efforts as my house now well warmer and we are also saving money on our energy bill.
Well-presented staffs, turned up on time and finished the job within specific time, everything remarkable and we are very happy the way they handle start to finish.
Around 35% all the heat lost in an un-insulated home is through the Cavity walls and by insulating walls you can save you around £295 a year on your energy bill. Cavity walls insulation is one of the most cost effective ways to save energy and money in your home.
25% heat could be lost through the roof. If you have no loft insulation and you install the recommended 250mm - 300mm depth of quilted insulation material, you could save around £240(*Detached House, Source , Energy Saving Trust) a year on your heating bill.
Heating accounts for about 60 per cent of what you spend in a year on energy bills, so an efficient boiler makes a big difference. Modern boilers are more efficient for several reasons and their main advantage is that they are all condensing boilers. If the resident receive income related benefits and have broken boiler may qualify for ECO2t grant towards the installation of new boiler. Scheme is fully funded and do not need to pay back.
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a government energy efficiency scheme in Great Britain to help reduce carbon emissions and tackle fuel poverty. The ECO scheme is set out in the Electricity and Gas (Energy Company Obligation) Order 2014 (ECO2 Order).
As of 1 April 2017, ECO will consist of two separate obligations:
1. Carbon Emissions Reduction Obligation (CERO). Suppliers are obliged to reduce carbon emissions by promoting the installation of wall and roof insulation and connections to district heating systems. Other insulation measures can also be installed, as long as they meet certain conditions. At least 15% of the target must be achieved in rural areas.
2. Home Heating Cost Reduction Obligation (HHCRO). Full grant depend on personal circumstance, type of the property, how it heated, the number of bedroom, actual area , Type of Benefits household receive and many other factors. All funds are provided by the major energy companies under the (ECO) Energy Companies obligation scheme. If you qualify, we can arrange home assessment free of cost.
If you are interested in any of the energy efficiency measure, please fill up the online form and we will contact you with 48 working hours to arrange a free no obligation assessment.

'Breaking Ships in the World-System' Lecture at SU Thursday, September 24
SALISBURY, MD---Ship-breaking is a colloquial term for the demolition of ships for salvage, including resalable parts and scrap metal. It's been called one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.
Dr. R. Scott Frey examines the practice, the companies that profit from it and the workers who risk their lives doing it during the talk "Breaking Ships in the World-System: An Analysis of Two Ship-Breaking Capitals — Alang-Sosiya, India, and Chittagong, Bangladesh."
His presentation, serving as Salisbury University's annual Multiple Dimensions of Inequality Lecture, is 6 p.m. Thursday, September 24, in Perdue Hall's Bennett Family Auditorium.
Frey is the co-director of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville's Center for the Study of Social Justice. He has held appointments at the National Science Foundation and Argonne National Library, and was a Senior Fulbright Scholar at the Vietnam National University of Social Sciences.
Frey has published in scholarly periodicals including the American Journal of Sociology, American Sociological Review and Social Forces. He is an associate editor of the Journal of World Systems Research, serving on the editorial boards of several other publications.
He is currently preparing a book, under contract with Routledge, examining how and why core-based hazardous products, production processes, and wastes are displaced to the peripheral zones of the world-system.
Sponsored by SU's Political Science and Sociology departments, Fulton School of Liberal Arts Dean's Office and Institute for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement (PACE), admission is free and the public is invited.

LatinTeacher: Victor Kanevsky / Oksana Zolotarevskaya / Ana Chacon
Samba is a lively, rhythmical dance of Brazilian origin in 2/4 time danced under the Samba music. It's an old Brazilian style of dance with many variations of African origin. It has been performed as a street dance at carnival, the pre-Lenten celebration, for almost 100 years. Samba has a very specific rhythm, highlighted to its best by characteristic Brazilian musical instruments: originally called tamborim, chocalho, reco-reco and cabaca. Much of Samba music came from daily life in Rio, the first famous example being "Pelo Telefone" composed by Donga. To achieve the true character of the Samba a dancer must give it a happy, flirtatious and exuberant interpretation. Principal characteristics of the Samba are the rapid steps taken on a quarter of a beat and the pronounced rocking motion and sway of the dancing couple.
The cha-cha-cha, or simply cha-cha, is a very beautiful and expressive dance. Being a dance of Cuban origin, it is danced to the music of the same name introduced by Cuban composer and violinist Enrique Jorrín in 1953. It has also been suggested that the name Cha Cha is derived from the vocal imitation of the sound of the feet in the chasse, which included in many of the steps. This would account for it being called the "Cha Cha Cha" by some people whereas others call it the "Cha Cha". To this day, the Cha Cha has remained one of the most popular dances in competitions and dance halls. It is a dance that has never gone out of style and is a favorite at weddings. The dance is very easy to learn, and once you have the basic pattern down, you can use as much of the dance floor or as little as you like.
Rumba is a slow, sensual, flirty dance. The Cuban style is characterized by forward and backward steps. The American version is done in a box pattern with "Cuban motion" as it's chief characteristic. "Cuban motion" is a discreet, expressive hip motion achieved by bending and straightening the legs and carefully timed weight changes. American Rumba is one of the most popular ballroom dances today.
Jive is one of the five International Latin dances. Like many forms of dance still alive and thriving today, Jive came from African-American cultural dance. In the case of Jive, it actually originated in the United States, hitting its first wave of popularity during World War II. It was recognized as a much more energetic version of the Jitterbug, which was already well known as a swing dance style. When Jive began to enter social dance competitions, it became a bit more choreographed and went through a "maturing" process where professionals slowed down its energetic style to a reasonable, universally-accepted pace.
Paso Doble, or pasodoble, (literal meaning in Spanish: double-step) is a traditional couple's dance from Spain. It is danced to the type of music typically played in bullfights during the bullfighters' entrance to the ring (paseo) or during the passes (faena) just before the kill. It corresponds to the Pasodoble dance (traditional and ballroom). PasoDoble is a lively style of dance to the duple meter march-like pasodoble music. The dance is lively and dramatic, with long sweeping steps and aggressive movements. It is modelled after the sound, drama, and movement of the Spanish and Portuguese bullfight. Famous bullfighters have been honoured with pasodoble tunes named after them. Other tunes have been inspired by patriotic motifs or local characters.

Although most chefs and kitchen staff are used to working under pressure, there is a different type of pressure many are not aware of. Negative air pressure is a common hazard in commercial kitchens and can be the result of poorly designed or inadequate make-up air units, an essential part of a restaurant's HVAC systems that is often overlooked.
A make-up air unit differs from a building's standard HVAC systems in that its job is to make up for the air that flows out through exhaust fans, so that even when the ventilation system is operating at peak capacity, there is consistent airflow and the exhaust fan does not remove conditioned air from the premises.
"Restaurant owners and operators should consult with an HVAC expert if they are uncertain about their make-up air needs. Requirements vary from kitchen to kitchen, so make-up units must be customized for each application," says Daniel Zacarelli, Manager, Technical Sales and Engineering for Enercare Commercial Services. "An inadequate supply of fresh air to compensate for the air being removed by exhaust fans can be dangerous and may violate building codes."
Ensuring a proper supply of fresh air will enhance guest experience by keeping cooking odours out of dining areas and allowing for smooth entry door operation. Exhaust fans alone can create significant negative air pressure, making entry doors difficult for guests to open doors and causing them to close rapidly.
Maintaining efficiency and reducing risk
An inadequate supply of make-up air can cause a restaurant to dramatically increase its heating and cooling costs. Without adequate make-up air, restaurants are effectively sending energy dollars out the chimney in the form of higher bills, as well as indirectly placing a needless burden on other mechanical equipment, possibly reducing its useful life. On top of these costs, ventilation systems may also perform poorly, resulting in excess kitchen grease, air quality concerns and more seriously, increased risks of back drafting.
The problem is most serious in restaurants with open kitchens and establishments that use atmospheric water heaters, where the lack of an adequate make-up air unit can also prevent the escape of carbon monoxide.
The make-up air unit should supply 80 to 85 per cent of the incoming air, with the remainder coming from adjacent spaces. In addition, a slight negative air pressure (4.98 Pa) should be maintained for odour control.
Consult the experts
"We see inadequate make-up air units in large chains and independent establishments alike," says Zacarelli. "The issue often arises when upgrades are made without consulting an HVAC expert and results in a decreased lifespan and increased operating costs for other equipment in the building."
Each linear foot of venting in a commercial kitchen removes between 150 and 400 cubic feet of air per minute. When an equal volume of fresh air is not pumped back into the kitchen, the difference in air pressure can create an uncomfortably warm or cool environment for customers.
"Installing the right make-up air unit is affordable and convenient," says Zacarelli. "With the right partner, it is easy to enhance the safety and comfort of staff and guests alike."

When you've got a great idea, it can be tempting to dive straight in and start putting your plans into action. We know that realising your construction dream is the most exciting part of any project, but without the essential planning considerations, you might experience setbacks and complications in the construction process which are easily avoided. Here's what you need to consider before work gets under way:
Set a realistic budget
Although you won't have a detailed idea of costs, you will know how much money you have to spend! Knowing your budget will guide many of your decisions during the construction process, so understanding what you can and can't afford will go a long way in making sure you achieve the results you're looking for with as little stress as possible. You'll need to take into account the cost of materials, planning consents as well as contractors' and architects' fees. Sometimes there may be demolition fees and the laying on of mains services from a distant place which can prove very expensive indeed.
Get the designs right
You might have incredible ideas, but, unless you're an architect or design professional, these might be beyond the realms of possibility. Get advice, for which you'll usually have to pay, from an architect or structural engineer as well as your contractor, and start pulling together a design, which will serve as the blueprint for the project itself. Having a collaborative relationship with everyone who'll be bringing your project to life will ensure your ideas won't be lost in the process, but your home will be properly designed and built to prevent future issues.
Shop around
Before construction starts it's a good idea to start shopping around for materials, to get a feel for what you do and don't want the end product to look like. For instance, if you're building in brick, there are substantial variations in price dependent upon colour and quality. Starting your shopping early will also help you keep track of your budget, so there won't be any unexpected or unaccounted for costs further down the line. Allow yourself one or two months before construction to get all of your material choices agreed and seek advice from your contractor if you're overwhelmed by the range of options and practical installations to choose from.
Make sure you have all the right permits
Going about getting planning permission can be difficult, and it's not something that should be taken lightly. Allow yourself 8 weeks for applications and approval to come through before any work can start. If work has already begun and you don't have approval you may need to make significant and costly changes or abandon the project altogether; it's always best to start off on the right foot! Familiarise yourself with the different types of planning consents out there and talk to neighbours and other interested parties about your project to ensure that they're onside and unlikely to block any decisions.
Whether you have a big idea for a new build or have a vision for transforming your home, we're always excited to be a part of making your project a reality. Get in touch with the Nutshell team to share your ideas and discuss how we can help bring your construction project to life.

The Obligation and the vision of space settlement
by Vid Beldavs
|NASA fell from a national priority to a legacy program that Congress seemed to keep alive more due to the jobs in key districts in Florida, California, and Texas, than to a commitment to US space leadership.
In early 1977, I developed and taught the course "Space Industrialization and National Priorities" at Coe College on a developmental leave from Cummins. I later presented "The Spacepower Economy" at the AIAA conference on Space Industrialization in 1978 and also had a presentation on "Anthropological Engineering and Space Colony Design" for a speculative anthropology conference organized by Magorah Maruyama. Later in Washington, DC, I met with George Koopmann, who was working with Barbara Marx Hubbard on a commercial Moon launch of the remaining Apollo spacecraft. Koopman later managed the famous chase scene in the film The Blues Brothers, subsequently forming the American Rocket Corporation, or Amroc. I caught up with Koopman in 1991 when I was at the Hudson Institute with my project, the International Baltic Economic Commission (IBEC). IBEC was organized by Hudson at the request of the prime ministers of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, countries that at that time were seeking to regain their independence from the Soviet Union.
My 1977 Coe College class was convinced that, by the 1990s, thousands of people would be living in space. This future did not happen, but the Soviet Union collapsed and a very different world has emerged in the 21st century. With the last Apollo flight, the momentum behind the space program fizzled with the Vietnam War and the resulting economic challenges facing the US. Although the Reagan Administration supported the space-based Strategic Defense Initiative, aka "Star Wars," NASA fell from a national priority to a legacy program that Congress seemed to keep alive more due to the jobs in key districts in Florida, California, and Texas, than to a commitment to US space leadership. Now, we are in an era that demands increasing international cooperation on large-scale projects such as the International Space Station and also creates more and more opportunities for private ventures in space rather than massive government run programs. A new novel by Steven Wolfe speaks to those early visions of space settlement.
The Obligation is written from the perspective of John, a Congressional staffer working for Congressman Grant, chair of the Space Science and Applications subcommittee at a time when work on the International Space Station had begun, but continuing funding was endangered by multiple other national priorities. Congressman Grant is caught in a struggle to save the budget for the International Space Station in the face of pressures from a host of groups that include schools, environmental groups, senior citizens, and scientists in disciplines not involving space. The plot is built around this political struggle and John's quest to understand the meaning of a plaque in Congressman's Grant's office: "The colonization of space will be the fulfillment of humankind's Obligation to the Earth."
John gains a sense of the vision underlying the message in the plaque through meetings arranged by Congressman Grant that are intended to reveal the six Endowments that are key to humanity achieving its spacefaring potential. These Endowments are embodied in living people that John visits.
Through these encounters with people endowed with abilities to create a spacefaring future, John is transformed through an epiphany to experience and understand the Seventh Endowment. The book makes suggestions that there are higher endowments beyond the Seventh and the conscious evolution of humanity will continue and drive us to space settlement and beyond.
|Space settlement is not just a geeky love of technology, although space ventures can satisfy the most demanding fascination with technology.
The book spoke to what I have felt for years, that humankind is an expression of the larger whole of the Earth itself whose stewards we are. O'Neill, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Krafft Ehricke, and others are identified by Steven Wolfe as influences that shaped the writing of The Obligation. These were also people that helped to shape my development.
I strongly recommend The Obligation, particularly for people committed to safeguarding the Earth and its environment. The book may speak to them showing that the drive to expand beyond the home planet is very deep and consistent with planetary stewardship. Space settlement is not just a geeky love of technology, although space ventures can satisfy the most demanding fascination with technology. It is also not about money, although space is likely to make many people very rich. It would be interesting to see how a filmmaker would treat the theme in The Obligation where Gaia, the organism of life on Earth seeking to expand into the cosmos, has evolved homo sapiens as part of the mechanism of planetary reproduction. As conscious beings, our responsibility to the planet and the life that it bears runs deep. The seeds thrown into the cosmos must be capable of surviving and evolving, must have a stable structure much like the DNA that shapes individuals. DNA largely remains unchanged, yet also produces the great evolving diversity that is needed to achieve spacefaring potential further in the galaxy over millennia.
John's quest to understand the meaning of the plaque is an entertaining trip through the eyes of a person deep in the process of formulating legislation. One can get a feel of the extraordinary effort needed to get NASA programs funded against hundreds of conflicting priorities. Steven Wolfe was a legislative aide to the late Congressman George E. Brown Jr., a sponsor of the many bills relating to NASA. Wolfe authored the Space Settlement Act of 1988, which was passed as part of the NASA authorization and signed into law by President Reagan. He has articulated a vision of space settlement that unifies all the key drivers. The Obligation was an engrossing read that I finished in one sitting. I am eagerly looking forward to a sequel and more from Steven Wolfe as the struggle to achieve space settlement enters a particularly difficult and perhaps decisive phase.

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) is a hair restoration technique where a patient's hair is transplanted in naturally occurring groups of one to four hairs, called follicular units.
Follicular units also contain sebaceous (oil) glands, nerves, a small muscle, and occasional fine vellus hairs. In Follicular Unit Transplantation, these small units allow the surgeon to safely transplant thousands of grafts in a single session, which maximizes the cosmetic impact of the procedure.
Maximizing Hair Transplant Growth
Since the follicular unit is a distinct anatomic and physiologic entity, preserving it intact during the graft dissection is felt to maximize growth. In FUT, after hair is removed from the back of the scalp in a single strip, stereo-microscopic dissection allows the individual follicular units to be removed from this strip without being damaged.
There are four reasons why the Follicular Unit Transplantation procedure allows a hair transplant surgeon to transplant large numbers of grafts in each session:
- The hair restoration can be completed quickly so that the patient has minimal interference with his or her lifestyle
- A larger number of grafts can compensate for the shedding that frequently accompanies a hair transplant, called telogen effluvium
- Using large numbers of grafts in each session preserves the donor supply by reducing the number of times incisions are made in the donor area
- Extracting large numbers of grafts provides sufficient 1- and 2-hair grafts to create a soft frontal hairline and enough 3- and 4- hair grafts to give the patient the fullest possible look.

Follicular Unit Extraction generally has a quicker patient recovery time, and significantly lower post-operative discomfort than Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). FUE provides an alternative to FUT when the scalp is too tight for a strip excision, and enables a hair transplant surgeon to harvest finer hair from the nape of the neck to be used at the hairline or for eyebrows.
However, with FUE, the follicles are harvested from a much greater area of the donor zone compared to FUT, estimated to be eight times greater than that of traditional strip excision – so requires patients to have hairs trimmed in a much larger donor area. As a result, the hair in the lower and upper parts of the donor area, where the grafts were taken from, may thin and this can make the donor scars visible. Follicles harvested from borderline areas of the donor region may not be truly "permanent," so that over time, the transplanted hair may be lost.
Maximum follicular unit graft yield is lower than with FUT and may result in greater follicular transection (damage). Due to the scarring and distortion of the donor scalp from FUE, it makes subsequent sessions more difficult – and grafts are more fragile and subject to trauma during placing, since they often lack the protective dermis and fat of microscopically dissected grafts, which ultimately may lead to poor growth. A problem of buried grafts can occur during the blunt phase of the three-step technique, when the graft is pushed into fat and must be removed through a small incision. FUE can also be more expensive and take longer to perform than FUT, so grafts are usually out of the body longer, risking sub-optimal growth.

Church History 101 Course, Mysterious Figures in Early Christianity Series, and More
Last Sunday we began a topic that many Copts have oftentimes found themselves completely lost, right in the middle of. As we started a new series entitled MYSTERIOUS FIGURES IN EARLY CHRISTIANITY, we dove right into the first 2 Centuries of major Christian figures. Christ made disciples and those disciples made disciples.Continue reading

The whole www.globetreter.de website is about to be redone. It'll be published under WordPress by now. Concerning this BLOG: some posts have been translated, some not. All the new ones will be in English as well!
- Delay
Unfortunately my container ship left Hamburg already six days delayed. To make it worse, the Charterer has cancelled my port of destination, Salvador, which would have been the first port in South America. That means a pretty bad start for the tour: the three Germans will only fly to Sao Paulo, not Salvador and loose parts of their tickets. Diego and Raquel had to cancel their Sao Paulo Salvador Ticket and the worst: due to the fact, that Santos (the port of Sao Paulo) will be the last in the list, I will have a further delay of 9 days. We miss our start event in Salvador (cycling together with 32 tandem bikes in the Bahia Tandem Tour). Very very bad…

Unfortunately my netbook was stolen yesterday when we put our stuff out of the bus that took us to Potosi. This means days of work to change hundrets of passwords, find and buy a new netbook, set up its system and so on.
The next web-update was nearly to be published – now it will take some more time…

- On the road again
After a longer time out (in Peru) we´re on the road again: with a complete new team, consisting of the Ecuadorian sign language interpreter Jacqueline Velez Lajones and the deaf "Esmeraldeño" Victor Ramirez Lamilla. The next two weeks we will make the along the coast to Guayaquil.
- El Telegrafo (Diario nacional Ecuador) 03/11/2010
- Diario "El Mercurio" (Cuenca, 22. Feb. 2010)
- Partizipation of deaf Ecuadorians unsufficient
If you translate the below article of "El Telegrafo" you would think, everything is going well. In fact the mentioned deaf people who fortify in their own word how important our work is and what everything can be achieved were not showing up the day we wanted to leave. That's why the Vamonos en Señas project died yesterday.
Jacqueline who never lost her motivation to move something in Ecuador and me decided to leave the city of Guayaquil on one single bike not looking anymore for deaf volunteers because the big majority simply isn't able to abstract and understand why it is important to make a personal effort in order to change the circumstances for themselves in Ecuador. The situation here is way worse than in Bolivia where the average income is less that the compared to Ecuador. It is worse in view availability of schools for the deaf, translators, their education and certification and especially in view on the acceptance in the society. In the few days we went with the deaf Victor from Esmeralda heading south I've personally seen and heard insults like "Psychopaths", "With crazy people I don't talk" or simply people laughing at him signing with Jacqueline.
The same day we arrived in Guayaquil we took part in the meeting of the city's deaf association. We found two interested women who meeting them the next morning in order to discuss details of our trip told that they would have a cent for their own food, that I had to sponsor this, too. Difficult attitude I thought but due to the fact, that already so much money and time was invested to realize the project in Ecuador, and my return to Germany was timed after this month in Ecuador I accepted their conditions. The next day we were at the agreed time at the agreed place but none of the two showed up, only one sent a message back, that she wouldn't come anymore, the other one didn't even answer our sms asking whether or not they will come. This was the woman who is quoted in the article. Sad sad sad.
- Helping
If you want to help the Ecuador and Costa-Rica-based NGO "El Cielo para los Niños" you can send used glasses, hearing devices, and theoretically anthing else that can easily be sent to Costa Rica by post services. I got to know this NGO very well, staying ten days with them – they helped me a lot sending my stuff back home. Their office also need urgent hardware help: up to three PC towers could be needed. Just contact me for further details.

I had to come home first to see the dvd that the channel sent in the meanwhile
- Box with bikes and gear on its way
More than 1000 US Dollar I had to pay to send this wooden box with the 3 tandem bikes back home. Not only this incredible sum of money but also about ten really sucking days organising all the stamps and stuff – and everybody wanted his or her 5 Dollars: the police in order to reconfirm that my visa were alright, the notary, that it was me that firmed the packing list etc. etc. A nightmare in Guayaquil.

Would you rather be BOO'd or BOOzed? Personally I would rather be BOOzed! If you have played the BOO game in your neighborhood you are probably already familiar with how it works. You fill a bucket with treats, include some notes, ring the door, and run. It's kind of like ding dong ditch but the person you're ding donging gets a nice surprise. This year I wanted to BOOze some neighbors because I'm pretty sure they wouldn't mind opening the door to a little BOOzey surprise! I've got all the printables you need to get your neighborhood BOO on!
Tonight I BOOzed my neighbor, Carrie. I know she enjoys a good cocktail now and then so she was my first BOOzed neighbor. I picked up a bottle of champagne at Trader Joe's, peeled the labels off, and stuck this one I made on with packing tape. I had a bag of spider webs sitting on my counter so right before I walked out the door I covered the bottle in webs. You can decorate your bottle any way you like…or don't…it's totally up to you. The printable version of this label says "BOOzey Brew" because it's more generic.
I added a cute little tag…
When you BOOze your neighbor make sure to leave a note so they know why someone has left a bottle of something pretty yummy (and so well deserved) on their doorstep. There are instructions at the bottom so they know what to do next.
I also left a "We've been BOOzed" sign to put on the door or in the window so other neighbors know they've already been "hit" with the BOOze.
You've Been BOOZEd is a Great Way to Surprise Your Neighbors and let them know that you been thinking of them and that you think it's time they had a cocktail.

Happy Halloween!

With temperatures in the upper 90s this week, I have been slower working on the playhouse. Instead of working on Tuesday, we went to the pool with a friend. Instead of working over the weekend, we took a camping trip to cool off in the mountains. But luckily we did get a bit of work done. This week we are sharing how we built the DIY playhouse railing, even thought I haven't finished painting it.
Even with the extreme temperatures this week, the kids have been having so much fun playing in their new playhouse. It really makes all the sweat and tears worth it. Okay, there really haven't been many tears. Surprisingly, I haven't hurt myself on this project (I promise that is really impressive, just ask my husband). But now I have probably jinxed myself, hopefully I will still have all my fingers by this time next week.
So far we are about 25 hours of work into the playhouse build (minus the many, many trips to the Home Depot). This does include the new railing. Over just the last week of having the walls up and while working on the playhouse railing, I have earned myself at least that many free hours from the kids because of it. Yep, they are spending most of their time in the backyard which makes this momma happy!
The playhouse has become a clubhouse, a fort, a jail, an obstacle course, and a tree house because the playhouse sits among the branches of the neighbors tree. Placing our DIY playhouse up in the branches of the trees turned out to be a great idea. It is keeping the playhouse cool in this crazy heat. And the shade it provides makes for hours and hours of play.
This week I am hoping for some lower temperatures (why is it already in the 100s???) so that I can get the climbing wall cut, painted and attached. Then the kids will have even more reason to stay outside and give me some peace. Maybe my house will even stay clean for longer than 20 minutes (okay, that is probably too much to ask).
So without further ado, I'm ready to share how we built the playhouse railing. Click the arrow below for the full tutorial.
And don't miss the rest of the posts in the series. Click the links below for the rest of the playhouse build (we will update the links as we finish the playhouse).

"A recipe for success!″
Update inventory records with product packaging and storage system data
Integrate MAS 90 with packaging system and modify production process to include expiration dates and warehouse location
25% Increased fulfillment efficiency and reduced spoilage by 33%
What is the problem we needed to solve?Our sausage maker client has grown 10 fold since opening their doors in downtown San Jose. Serving grocery and restaurant customers in the greater San Francisco Bay Area, Silicon Valley, the Central Valley and Central Coast of California, "fresh" is the name of the game. Products are made and shipped within 24 hours of order ensuring the best customer experience. Ingredients and finished products must be tracked and traceable by FDA regulation, and tracked quickly. Managing cost per pound and production yield is essential to profitability. Orders were taken on note cards and pinned to a bulletin board in the sales office. Order visibility required running to the sales office and flipping through the note cards. Production crews were inconsistently informed on order priority causing problems in both delivery and will call. Pricing was difficult due to inconsistent recipe cost updates causing lost margin when prices were too low and lost business when prices were too high. Inconsistent pricing caused concerns by customer's buyers. Weekly union payroll processing costs from a service provider was expensive.
Sage MAS 90 in the SpotlightUsing core modules, payroll, and bill of materials, financials are now accurate and timely. Using in-house payroll integrated with biometric timeclocks has improved employee satisfaction and reduced processing costs significantly with no additional time. Bills of materials for product recipes are updated for cost changes resulting in competitive pricing and better margins. A unique order dashboard was developed by pulling order data into Excel and is now visible on everyone's desktop. Data from the case packer is imported into production entries to track Lot # and bin location.
FDA trackingIngredients and finished goods are tracked by Lot # throughout the system. The company can now easily comply with FDA regulations.
Customer ServiceOrders are entered into MAS 90 as they are received by phone and are instantly visible on everyone's desktop. Anyone answering the phone is empowered to provide excellent customer service by being able to inform the customer on the status of their order.
Real-World ResultsSalespeople now receive sales reports giving them visibility on their customers ordering habits, volume, and profitability. The company now uses this data to negotiate co-op marketing arrangements and commissions to its salespeople and brokers. New products are costed and priced before going to market ensuring successful and profitable product releases. Unprofitable products are now quickly discontinued.
Everyone in the company is now contributing to the goals by entering and sharing real-time information.
